Zhou Sen asked: "What about the others? Are there several people in the program team?"

Brother Dahui shook his head: "This kind of complex program cannot be directly handed over to others, and they basically work overtime until after 10 o'clock in the evening. Xiao Liu is going to get married recently and has been preparing for it. Zhang'er's child is just one month old, and it is time to be busy. As for the two programs that Director Bai transferred from other projects, he can't do it and can share a small part, but he can't count on it."

The eldest sister-in-law complained: "Look, look! It's like this every time. It's not easy for others, but it's easy for you. Our children are over three years old this year and have always been taken care of by the elderly from both families. What if you have any of them, what if we orphans and widows?"

Brother Dahui clapped her hands: "I'm sorry, don't worry, I'll quit my job and change jobs when I recover."

"You should have resigned long ago!" My sister-in-law was very dissatisfied.

Zhou Sen frowned and said, "Can you blame Guangyi Interactive Entertainment for this situation? This is not an industrial injury? No matter how serious it is, you will die of overwork!"

Brother Dahui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hey, they are all working, how can they sue it? A large company has an entire legal department. When signing the contract, they have studied various terms countless times. Not to mention anything else, the litigation process is so long that it can't be delayed. Director Xie said that he would talk to Director Bai and President Yu and ask them to compensate for some money. I think this is enough."

"I thank you for being a good man." Zhong Ming sighed.

"Yes, if it weren't for Lao Xie, I wouldn't have been in this project for so long." Brother Dahui sighed, "So the choice between you two is right. Leave this place early and open a studio by yourself. Even if you are tired, it's still for yourself."

...

Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen stayed in the ward for several hours until four o'clock in the afternoon, and they took the bus to the place where they were having sex and met with Director Xie and the others.

On the way back, the two of them felt even more depressed, especially Zhou Sen, who was almost autistic.

"Hey, I always see all kinds of news about programmers dying from overwork on the Internet. I originally felt that they were quite far away from me, but now I see this, I feel very panicked." Zhou Sen sighed.

Zhong Ming said: "Don't worry, our studio does not work overtime... under normal circumstances."

"Of course it's not about this. What I mean is that if I don't jump out and continue working in a big company, maybe in a few years, I will become like Brother Dahui. Or maybe if I were to me, I would probably die in the next day of the project and be discovered!"

Zhou Sen looked very sad: "To be honest, every program should have considered this kind of problem, but what can I do? There is no solution! The company needs to catch up with the progress, and the project staff is not enough. What else can I do besides overtime? Overtime work like Guangyi Interactive Entertainment gives you a certain amount of compensation and bonuses. A large number of small companies work overtime, and they won't even pay a penny of overtime! After all, Supervisor Xie is willing to ask for compensation from Brother Dahui. If this is a small company, you will probably be fired that day and there is no way to appeal!"

"I heard that the labor department has been promoting relevant bills in order to reduce this overtime situation." Zhong Ming seemed to have seen similar news online before, but he was not clear about the following.

Zhou Sen shook his head: "It's not that there is no progress, but there is too much resistance! Many people in the business world think that this is increasing the labor costs of the company and hindering economic development. To put it bluntly, it is because we, the social animals, are not united enough, and those who struggle and keep jumping back, are originally serious internal circulation and internal friction. Most people curse while not rejecting the boss's overtime request, and don't even care about it. How can they make the boss give up the interests in their hands?"

Zhong Ming nodded, this is indeed the truth.

Zhou Sen said again: "What's most annoying is that there are a large number of economists who stand up for the company, saying that the current salary level and overtime pay are the dynamic balance generated by the game between employees and companies. If you work overtime, it means that you are only worth so much money. Otherwise, why don't you switch to other jobs with more money and less trouble? You also said that the company provides employees with job opportunities, and employees should be grateful. After all, you can't even eat without a company."

Zhong Ming: "..."

"So, the situation is unsolvable at the moment. The employee and the boss are no longer a business cooperation relationship, but a class relationship. People with resources can exploit people without resources at will. A situation like Brother Dahui is good enough, really good enough." Zhou Sen said everything in his heart, feeling much better.

But he just talked about it for a while, and he knew that even if many people knew about these principles, it was too difficult to change the status quo.

Zhong Ming also had a rough understanding of what Zhou Sen said.

This world has only been more than a decade since its post-war reconstruction, and many industries are growing wildly and at a high speed.

Opportunities are everywhere, but it also means that under such rapid growth, many individuals' time and energy are compressed to their limits.

An era of hard work will inevitably be an era of overwork.

This can actually be seen in Zhong Ming’s previous life.

In Zhong Ming's previous life, compared with developed countries in Europe and the United States, domestic companies are obviously far behind in terms of overtime, work intensity, and salary.

It can be said that this is the impact of the demographic dividend, or it can be said that this is the only way for economic development.

The so-called demographic dividend is indeed a dividend for enterprises, society, and economic development, but it is not certain for individuals.

The demographic dividend means that there may be two or three or even more people competing for the same position, so in this case, the company has absolute say.

A said, I have a high education.

B said, I am very capable.

C said that I can work overtime for four hours a day, and I don’t have overtime pay.

So the company chose C, gave him a low salary, and made him work hard. Not only that, but also wanted to learn from him, work overtime together, and not pay overtime.

The boss only recruits one person for the work he has done, and gives him 1.5 times his salary. Many people can't tell whoever loses and who earns it.

Maybe this is a normal economic phenomenon, but when everyone in society has to do so, they fall into an involuntary ecology.

Of course, this is what big companies are willing to see. After all, it can minimize the cost of salary, but for everyone, everyone is living a hard life.

If someone says that only by working eighteen hours a day can individuals grow and companies win competitors in the mall, and those who do not work hard will be eliminated by the world...

Then please first see where your butt is sitting, and whether there is a business worth tens of billions of dollars in the family waiting for you to inherit.

If you are just a worker and speak for a big company, then when you really hit yourself with overwork, it is best not to complain.

...

Soon, Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen arrived at the restaurant where they had dinner together.

Neither Jiang Wanna nor Lao Xie knew each other, so they didn't come.

This time, Zhong Ming found a traditional Chinese restaurant and booked a private room. Not long after, Zhang Xiaowen was the first to arrive.

"Brother Zhong!"

Zhang Xiaowen greeted Zhong Ming with an excited look on his face: "I heard that your game is very successful! Do you have to have two drinks today?"
